Does Obama Pay Less Taxes Than His Secretary?

Courtesy of the class division SWAT team, we already know all too well that Buffett had a lower tax rate than this secretary. We however have a question: according to just released data, the Obama’s paid $789,674 in taxes in 2011…
  • OBAMAS PAID 20.5% IN TAXES ON $789,674 IN 2011
From Bloomberg: “President Obama, wife Michelle had adjusted gross income of $789,674 in 2011, paid $162,074 in taxes, according to federal tax returns released by White House.”

So… inquiring minds want to know if the Fairness Expert in Chief paid less than his secretary in 2011?

Obama did not pay a higher effective tax rate than his secretary. That is a lie and sadly, a the misinformation comes from the White House. Obama's actual effective tax rate was 32.65%. The maximum effective rate his secretary could have paid had was 20.3%. I don't know why the media has failed so miserably in reporting this. I am an ardent Obama supporter. But I do believe the White House released this misinformation to influence the vote on the Buffet amendment. Regardless, the news reports are misleading.
